He attributes it to those glimpses of the feminine integu- ment which we are vouchsafed by the prevailing fashions. In other words, he thinks it’s the peek-a-boo waist and the openwork hose et id omne genus—to use a little packing- house Latin—which makes us wicked. The more peek-a-bao, the more sin, as it were. 3 So he recommends the old-fashioned hoopskirt as a cure for our divagations, and a fence against our temptations, Probably. he chooses the hoopskirt because he regards it as the ugliest of all things ever worn by woman—and he wants the stomachs of our youth—and middle age—turned and nauseated by frightful ugliness. : Judge, you'll never get in the Solomon class, nor even in the Sancho Panza class, by that de n—or observation.

Two days later his father found it lying in a corner with both eyes missing. “My boy,” asked father, more in sorrow than in anger, “why have you spoiled that beautiful monkey by pulling its eyes out?” “Didn't,” replied Arthur, briefly. “Don’t tell any untruths,” snorted father, more in anger than in sorrow, “or I'll punish you! Why did you pull the monkey’s eyes out?” “Didn't!” repeated little Arthur, defiantly Then be hurried on, @s father took off his slipper, “I—I pushed them in Answers, London. ONLY ONE HE KNEW .
